Samsung begins hockey camp contest
By Adnews Staff
Mississauga-based Samsung Electronics Canada has begun a contest promotion called the "Samsung Hockey Camp for Kids." Fifteen winners between the ages of seven and 14 will attend a one-day hockey clinic with Wayne Gretzky and Hayley Wickenheiser. Each winner plus one parent will receive a trip to Calgary to attend the event. Parents can enter their children online at <http://www.samsung.com/laceup> by submitting a description of why their child deserves a spot at the clinic. A panel of judges will select the winners. The site also encourages visitors to donate to the Hockey Canada "Dream Come True" community initiative, which provides underprivileged children with the chance to play a season of hockey. The contest will close on Nov. 2. "Samsung has a long-standing commitment to hockey through our relationship with Hockey Canada, Wayne and Hayley and as excitement grows leading into 2010, we couldn't think of a better way to celebrate our favourite winter sport," said Benjamin Lee, president and CEO of Samsung Canada.
